Bear’s Road

So I’m cruising down this wonderfully serene and picturesque highway, and just up the road I see this black bear just a walkin down the centre of the highway! So I slam on the brakes and grab the camera. After and edit and crop at 105mm, this is the best I can make it look. Soon after I grabbed this shot, he made a beeline straight into the bushes and gone he was. I love these kind of bear encounters — the ones where I am at a safe distance away! Thanks for stopping by.

Ahh nice catch! He seems so calm there, like who cares it's a road... That was indeed a safe encounter

Yeah, as soon as he spotted me it was off into the bushes!

The bear walking on the center of the road nonchalantly shows this is (his?) domain lol. Nice to view it this close.

That quick 105mm croped frame really sells the highway moment. Your safe distance instinct was spot on, because bears don't check mirrors. The way you waited just long enough then their he vanished into the bushes gives the shot a neat exit beat.
